Why bruises turn green, then yellow

Quiet Pages

Why does a bruise turn a whole rainbow? 👀
It starts when blood leaks under the skin after a hit.
Next, hemoglobin breaks down into new pigments 🩸
That shift is why bruises move from blue-purple to green, then yellow.
The body is cleaning house ✨
White blood cells and enzymes clear the broken-down blood, and the bruise fades away.
Normal: color changes over 1–2 weeks ⏳
Get medical advice if it lasts longer, keeps coming back, or comes with unusual bleeding.
